Enhancements
- On an Ad-Supported site? We've given you back your right column! Several modifications have been made to the free site layout. Most notably the ad previously in the right column is now a floating ad. This gives users the right column back. If a site is viewed with a very narrow browser the ad will pop back into the column. Our research indicates that more than 90% of users and sites will see the ad in the floating position all of R14 series templates have a max width and will allow this view to be best utilized.
- PMs and Site Newsletters are now a part of the User Profile area.
- The link options in the User Profile area have been streamlined to provide access to the most used functions more quickly and to reduce the number of top level items since many were used very rarely.
- Users are now able to connect their Steam account to their Guild Launch account. This will pull in game information and allow people to see what games you are playing. This will be expanded in future releases.
General
- The option to Apply to a site is now presented in both the Apply and Register flow if the site is recruiting.
- Resolved an issue where members with certain file types were unable to upload to the File Library.
- Twitter API calls have been updated to meet their new standards.
- CSS fixed for the new login bar.
- The "Recent Image" widget was not displaying images properly for sites using our S3 hosting. This has now been resolved.

Can you please explain how / where you link your Steam account?
Is there a widget or something?

The Steam integration is a great feature and I was glad to find it listed in these recent patch notes. I wanted to ask what's planned in future releases with Steam.
My guild plays many games together outside World of Warcraft, and though Steam is a fantastic platform to find guildies during gameplay and message them, it doesn't have a central forums or scheduling system that Guild Launch does.
The ideal would be a widget that would let guildies know what games are being played, embedded right on the GL page. This could expand the current GL functionality of connecting game guilds together on one site - not only will guildies be able to link their toons to our site, but they can see where their guildies are currently playing.
Is this what's intended for the future?
